We had a great time bringing our Hop on the Bus to Independence (HOTB) workshop to Evanston Township High School (ETHS) Students and educators were engaged and eager to learn more about using public transit. We hope to make this an annual training opportunity for students.

Thank you to everyone who participated and helped foster meaningful conversations around inclusion, awareness and community.

Search supports nearly 400 people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD) each year. This year during Trailblazers, we're highlighting the endless possibilities created when people are given the opportunity to pursue life whichever way they please.

Leading up to our June 4 Trailblazers event, we’re striving to raise $15,000 to support our full-circle services. Help us start the event off strong by donating: https://wl.donorperfect.net/weblink/WebLink.aspx?name=keystone&id=79

Search had the opportunity to visit the Illinois State Capitol and connect with senators and representatives to share Search’s impact across their districts.

During the visit, we urged legislators to support the proposed $0.60/hour wage increase for DSPs, along with an additional $0.60 increase. A total $1.20/hour increase would achieve the longstanding goal of raising DSP wages to at least 150% of minimum wage.

Search also called for expanded access to Community Day Services by removing the 5-hour billing cap, updating transportation support and allowing for more individualized service hours.

Higher DSP wages and more flexible Day Services strengthen workforce stability, reduce disruptions and improve quality of life for people with disabilities.
